Do any Ethereum miners have experience overclocking Nvidia 1080 8 GB GPU’s using Claymore on Windows 10? According to multiple conversations I’ve had today with experienced miners, even those utilizing liquid-coolers, it’s apparently easier said than done when compared to using Radeon 8 GB 580’s with Claymore on Windows 10.

I’ve attached my .bat file convention within the below markdown. I’d sincerely appreciate any guidance since this is my first day officially mining Ethereum! I’m throwing in the towel tonight and using ethOS on my next build with 8 Radeon 580 GPUs- from what I gather, the Linux .conf file convention should be much easier to modify for overclocking.

Ok, folks- after subjecting my self to almost seven solid-hours of hacking around the BIOs and reinstalling Windows, I finally decided to switch gears into ethOS on another build configured with 8 * Radeon RX 580 Sapphire GPU's- and I nailed RIGHT OUT OF THE GATES with the below over-clocking parameters yielding >= 29.5 Mh/s per GPU, totaling 236 Mh/s!

Although these parameters are customized for Radeon RX 580's, I re-formatted the subject build referenced in the post-question with ethOS; although I've yet to successfully overclock the 8 * NVIDIA 1080 GPUs >= 21.29 Mh/s, LINUX/ethOS is categorically much-easier and faster to spin-up and deploy than anything I've attempted to build with Windows 10- at default settings- or commenting-out the overclocking-parameters listed above for the Radeon RX 580-build (ie globalcore, globalmem and global fan). I'll update this answer when successful. Thanks.
